Have you ever got the feeling after buying a painting when you just say to yourself: "Ooooooh, can wait to put this in my museum!" But you find out its a fake??. Here's how to find out wether or not the painting is real.

AFTER buying the painting, talk to him and at the end of his sentence, he will be laughing to himself, if so, you got PWNED!! It was a fake. Sooo... how the flying monkey balls can you find out wether or not the painting is real BEFORE buying the painting??

"Some try selling it to nook first, if he says he'll pay 10 bells its a fake, if he says he'll pay 490 bells its authentic."

i think this way is easier, because (for me my bus stop is near nooks and the museum is ALL THE WAY ACROSS TOWN) if it is a fake, you can go ahead and sell it, instead of it being fake (99% of the time) and then you have to go all teh way to nooks to sell it (or drop it in recycling)

ha ha. flying monkey balls.

There's absolutely noway of telling if a painting is genuine before a sale, I'm afraid.

It's the same as fossils. The trigger is when you give it to Blathers.I gave him a painting & it was fake. Reset a few times & it was real.Fossils: Identified as t-rex skull, already had it. Reset & got mammoth skull, nice.If you can handle resetti, you can reset till you get what you want.
